This must be a new model otherwise the first 2 characters of phone number on the "dial" would be RO instead of 76, typically identifying the city or county it was located in. Remember when?

I'm thinking you would need teeny tiny fingers.

That may have been so in New York, but in general, there was a "prefix" then a 5-digit number. In the phone company language, it was NNX-XXXX, with the Ns being the prefix, NNX denoting the exchange, and the last four Xs being the line number. Our phone number was CE8-xxxx, with CE meaning "Cedar", but we only had to dial 5 digits, since our town only had the one exchange.

Our Town had the same setup..."XT5" :thumbup:
We started out only having to dial 4 digits; eventually, they added the "5", and finally, the "98"
